I'll try my best to take some pics.

I was shocked when I 1st stumbled upon it & saw amazingly beautiful Emperor Angels, CBB's, foot long Oscars etc. all hanging up in bags in doorways!

Like you say, they looked healthy enough!

Prices? I remember see Percula's for $30 each.

That's $30 Hong Kong Dollars each! (about $4 CAD!)

.

I love Goldfish Street. You can get T5 lights + a ballast and everything for only $350 hk which is like $50 here. I remember I got like a 16w 10k HO trio of T5's. :( But they melted. At least one of them did.

Yeah, bargains galore!

$50 for T5's with ballast... that's a steal, so long as they work that is!!!

HK 220v @ 50Hz - Canada 110v @ 60Hz so I probably wont trust anything electrical that my tank has to rely on from HK.

Not with out a decent step down.

.

:( I had to use all sorts of adaptors when I got the T5's back here though. But they were BRILLIANTLY bright :D It was worth it. & Turkey basters were like a dollar. Not that it's such a bigbigbig deal its just that if that was here it would've only been like 10 cents :p

Talk to RonD, he was there a couple months ago, brought back some wicked corals etc....We jumped through the hoops on what is and isn't allowed. He know's his stuff on bringing stuff back.

Thanks for that Cameron, I'll give him a pm.

I wish I had a tank set up... I'd bring back as much as I could!

I'm sure properly packed they'll survive the 10 hr flight back & the 1 hr 45 drive from YVR to the 'wack.

.

:( I really want some Kent supplement whatever you call it stuff for my tank & like Iodine and stuff but I have noooooooooo idea how I'm gonna pick it up because I can't drive

hmm hopefully a fellow aquarist or even a LFS will keep the livestock for you temporary when you return as you set up(even if they charge anything..it'd be cheaper than what you pay locally!)

---

And o yeah .. for items like skimmers ... if might be worth getting it from HK (if you are going to upgrade the pump anyways like on certain models)

I bought a Deltec recently which I'll use whilst I have a lower initial bioload & until I can afford a BK Mini. Would be interesting to see if BK's are cheaper or not over there.

I don't know when I'll be set up enough to keep livestock (haven't even bought my tank yet) as I'm just picking up bits & bits as I go along.

.

Which ones in particular do you need?

No harm in seeing the price comparisons.
